Building Control

You are here:

Our Highways service controls the demolition of buildings in the interests of safety and to make sure there's as little disturbance or inconvenience as possible to the public or people in nearby properties.

You can report emergency demolition problems or a dangerous structure to us on 01226 773555 (24 hour)

If you start demolition work without the appropriate licence we can prosecute you.

Apply for a licence

Not all demolition requires a licence, if you're not sure if you need one please contact us for advice before you apply.
